Join us on November 3rd Tuesday at 7;00 for the Izaak Walton meeting where we will learn about various sustainability initiatives the City of Elgin offers. Kristin Iftner, from the City of Elgin, will be our speaker for the evening. One of the programs is highlighted below.
Thinking about adding native plants to your yard? ��
The City of Elgin Sustainability Commission's Pollinators at Home grant offers eligible residents up to $300 in reimbursement for approved native plants, mulch and compost materials when replacing a portion of their lawn with native landscaping.
Native plants are naturally adapted to our region, so they use less water and require less maintenance once established. They also provide important habitat for pollinators, birds and other wildlife while helping create a healthier, more resilient community.
Funding is available on a first-come, first-served basis while funds last. Applications will be accepted through Dec. 31, 2026, for eligible projects completed in 2026 or 2027. Limit one application per household per calendar year.
Learn more about the program, eligibility requirements and how to apply:
The Pollinators at Home Grant, a pilot project, helps residents replace portions of traditional turf grass with native landscaping that uses less water, reduces pollution, supports pollinators, and creates habitat for birds and other wildlife.
